Gift Card Scam

[gs07379]

This is my first time selling on ebay, and I got an offer on my item, they asked me to text them as they had a few questions about my item - so I did, and they want me to add a $300 gift card in with the order as they are a US Marine and they are unable to do it themselves. I am 99% certain this is a scam, but just wanted to ask for opinions I guess? Definitely a scam right?

Yup.

Why would a US Marine want a gift card that would only work in Canada, anyway?

I actually didn't think about the fact that the gift cards would only work in Canada!
